My Firefox add-on to download music and videos just got a big update!

Media Downloader Unleashed, a browser extension I made that allows you to download streams, videos and music files, recently reached a pretty big update! Maybe you can try it if you think it would be useful :

- Downloads media from thousands of sites
- Works on any platform, PC or Android, without needing to install a separate app
- Completely free, and open source.
- No data tracking!

You can get it at https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/media-downloader-unleashed

Try it, and tell me if you like it!

Here is the source code : https://github.com/helloyanis/media-downloader-unleashed

My Lemmy client absolutely slaughtered your text formatting - the original post is much more legible on Mastodon thankfully

Links for the curious

The OP looks fine on Voyager. Which Lemmy client are you using?

Also Voyager... Weird. Must be a Mastodon to PieFed thing

[–] AllYourSmurf@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Weird. Here’s mine.

It must be a bug in the software that's doing the federating - PieFed vs Lemmy. That's kind of surprising, but good to know.

Added. Next step is to figure out where to download music to add to my new Amazfit watch

[–] helloyanis@furries.club 1 points 1 week ago

@DarkPassenger Awesome! Well, if the website you are downloading from does not work, tell me and I'll try to figure it out!

Thank you.

I tested on Android with five different websites. It's great at detecting videos, and the UI is solid.

But, there's an issue: after a download finishes, if I'm on another tab, the download dialog flashes and disappears.

Another open source win, thanks!
